Declare a base class that inherits Form and contains protected properties

public class BaseClass : Form
    {
     //list common properties here
     protected int size  = 1;
    }

both forms now have access to the size property

public class form1 : BaseClass
{


   public form1()
   {
      //newsize = 1
      int newsize = size;   
   }
}

public class form2 : BaseClass
{
   public form2()
   {
       //newsize = 1
       int newsize = size;
    }
}

Or if you want to set properties of the Form class in the base class do this in the constructor of your base class

public class BaseClass : Form
        {
         public BaseClass()
         {
            //set color etc. here
         }
        }

I'm not sure this is what you want but

class FormList{
 public List<System.Windows.Forms.Form> MyForms=new List<System.Windows.Forms.Form>();

 public void UpdateSomething(Color cols){
    foreach(Form ThisForm in MyForms){
        ThisForm.Color=cols
    }
 }
 //etc...
}
